How Ultra Unlimited+ Scores

We scored Ultra Unlimited+ against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.

Value for money 7.0
Network & speed 8.0
Hotspot & features 8.4
Customer experience 7.0

Pricing: pay for the hotspot or don't pay at all

Unlimited+ is $59 monthly, $53 on three months, $39.95 on six and $28.70 on twelve. Only the annual figure is defensible; at $59 a month this is more expensive than most postpaid entry plans with better video and priority.

The entire case for this tier is the 25GB hotspot, up from 10GB on Ultra Unlimited, for $4.90/mo more on an annual term. If you tether a laptop regularly that's a bargain. If you don't, you're paying for capacity you'll never touch, and it renews at $41/mo.

What You Get

✓25GB dedicated hotspot — 2.5x Ultra Unlimited's allowance
✓Unlimited phone data on top of the hotspot pool
✓Unlimited talk to 90+ countries and text to 200+
✓5GB Go Roam data in Mexico and Canada
✓$28.70/mo on a year is fair for a 25GB hotspot on T-Mobile
✓No credit check, no contract, no termination fee

What You Don't Get

−Only worth $4.90/mo over Unlimited if you actually tether
−The $28.70 rate is introductory — it renews at $41/mo
−$59 month-to-month is the worst value in the lineup
−Video capped around 480p even on the top tier
−Deprioritization above roughly 35GB still applies
−Taxes and fees are extra

How Ultra Unlimited+ compares

Unlimited+ against Unlimited is a single-variable decision: the hotspot.

Feature Ultra Unlimited+ Ultra Unlimited
Annual term rate $28.70/mo $23.80/mo
Monthly rate $59/mo $49/mo
Renews at $41/mo $34/mo
Hotspot Up to 25GB Up to 10GB
Phone data Unlimited Unlimited
International calling 90+ countries 90+ countries

Who should choose Ultra Unlimited+

✓You tether a laptop or tablet regularly and need 10–25GB of hotspot
✓You want unlimited phone data alongside a large hotspot pool
✓You call internationally — 90+ countries included
✓You travel to Mexico or Canada and want roaming data
✓You can prepay a year to get $28.70

Who should skip it

−You don't tether — the hotspot is the only reason to buy this
−You want month-to-month; $59 is beaten across the market
−You want high-quality video; Ultra caps around 480p on every tier
−You want all-in pricing; taxes and fees are extra
−You use under 24GB total — the capped tier is far cheaper

Final Verdict

The clearest-purpose plan at Ultra: it exists for people who tether. 25GB of dedicated hotspot on T-Mobile's network for $28.70/mo on a year is a strong number, and it comes with the unlimited calling to 90+ countries that runs through the whole lineup. Outside of that use case there's nothing here worth the premium — non-tetherers should take 24GB and pocket the difference. Note that video stays capped around 480p even at the top of the range.
